For years Nintendo made it clear that its new strategy is to stop being a simple video game company to become a giant in the world of entertainment. We have already seen this with its amusement parks and the movie Super Mario Bros. which is about to debut. It seems that the company does not have enough with that since it has now invested in an animation and production studio.

Through a statement published on social networks, Nintendo announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire Dynamo Pictures. At the moment it is unknown how much the transaction will take place for, but the deal is expected to close on October 3.

According to Nintendo, the acquisition of Dynamo Pictures will allow them to strengthen the production of visual content within the company. Thus, this new division will be dedicated to developing visual content based on Nintendo franchises.

It is worth mentioning that, once the deal closes, the company will change its name from Dynamo Pictures to Nintendo Pictures.

What is Dynamo Pictures?

You’ve probably never heard of Dynamo Pictures, but it is very likely that at some point you have seen his work. We say this because the company based in Tokyo, Japan, has a long career working in the production of visual content for different companies.

Dynamo Pictures has been working on different productions that require animation such as movies, anime and video games for at least 17 years. Among the projects he has collaborated on are productions of the stature of Death Stranding; monster hunter world; Rockman VR Targeted; NieR: Replicant; the shorts of Pikmin and different virtual reality projects resident Evil.

It is worth mentioning that Dynamo Pictures specializes in computer animation as well as professional motion capture. Thus, it is a good signing that will strengthen Nintendo in its future projects.
